[Halsey - Forever ... is a long time lyrics]
I spent a long time watering a
Plant made out of plastic
And I cursed the ground for growing green
I spent a long time
Substituting honest with sarcastic
And I cursed my tongue for being mean
And weightless, breathless restitute
Motionless and absolute you cut me open
Sucked the poison from an aging wound
Now fifty thousand war cadets
Would cower at this small brunette
To my surprise, not six feet high
Who'd reach and grab the moon if I
Should ask or just imply
That I wanted a bit more light
So I could look inside his eyes
And get the colors just right
Just right, just right, just
Build love, build God, build provinces
Build calluses, break promises
'Cause I could never hold a perfect
Thing and not demolish it
What am I thinking? What does this mean?
How could somebody ever love me?
Talk to your man
Tell him he's got bad news comin'
Plant made out of plastic
And I cursed the ground for growing green
I spent a long time
Substituting honest with sarcastic
And I cursed my tongue for being mean
And weightless, breathless restitute
Motionless and absolute you cut me open
Sucked the poison from an aging wound
Now fifty thousand war cadets
Would cower at this small brunette
To my surprise, not six feet high
Who'd reach and grab the moon if I
Should ask or just imply
That I wanted a bit more light
So I could look inside his eyes
And get the colors just right
Just right, just right, just
Build love, build God, build provinces
Build calluses, break promises
'Cause I could never hold a perfect
Thing and not demolish it
What am I thinking? What does this mean?
How could somebody ever love me?
Talk to your man
Tell him he's got bad news comin'
